#BoysAreChanging
As many as 1,614 rapes and 1,456 other sexual assaults were committed by juveniles in the country in 2017, reveal the latest data of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
Over 40,000 juveniles were caught across the country in 2017 for their alleged involvement in various offences, with 72 per cent of them belonging to the age group from 16 to 18 years.
There were 1,614 cases of rape against juveniles in 2017, 1,456 cases of assault on women with intent to outrage their modesty and 46 cases of attempt to rape, among others, the NCRB said.The government had in 2015 passed the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, which provides for the trial of juveniles in the age group of 16 to 18 years as adult if involved in heinous offences.

बलात्कार और हिंसा की घटनाओं ने भारत की छवि को नुकसान पहुंचाया है. Hyderabad Rape Case में एक Veterinary Doctor के साथ सामूहिक बलात्कार कर उसे ज़िंदा जला दिया गया. हालांकि तेलंगाना पुलिस ने वक्त रहते चारों आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया. लेकिन जब घटनाओं के पुनर्निर्माण के लिए उन्हें अपराध स्थल पर ले जाया गया, तब उन्होंने भागने की कोशिश की जिसके चलते एनकाउंटर में तेलंगाना पुलिस ने उन्हें मार गिराया. साल 2012 में हुए Nirbhaya Rape Case ने भी पुरे देश को झकझोर के रख दिया था. यही नहीं Unnao में 23 वर्षीय लड़की के साथ भी सामूहिक बलात्कार हुआ था, जिसे आरोपियों द्वारा ज़िंदा आग के हवाले कर दिया गया, जब वो कोर्ट कि सुनवाई के लिए अदालत जा रही थी. National Crime Records Bureau के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, लड़कियों या महिलाओं के साथ बलात्कार के मामले पिछले 17 सालों में दोगुना हो गए हैं। हालांकि, निर्भया मामले के बाद, सरकार ने मौजूदा कानून में संशोधन किया और इसे और कठोर बना दिया, जिसमें बलात्कार के दोषी की सजा को दोगुना तक बढ़ा कर 20 साल कर दी गई. देखें देश में बढ़ते बलात्कार की वारदातों पर, तनु उपाध्याय, वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधिकारी, मनोहर लाल शर्मा, अधिवक्ता और सुनील वात्स्यायन, समाज सुधारक के साथ बड़ी बहस 'ख़बरों का पंचनामा' में अनुराग वर्मा के साथ...
Delhi stood third on the list with an 8.8 per cent share in overall juvenile crimes in the country.The national capital registered 2,965 cases in 2017, an upward trend from 2016 when it lodged 2,499 cases and 2015 when it filed 2,366 FIRs, according to the data.

Breaking the Cycle: Helping Friends Quit Weed by Siya Nada volunteer from Shimla

"Empowering Youth: Building Tobacco-Free Educational Institutions through Community Profiling,"  Siya Chohan student of UPES, Dehradoon  and Nada Volunteer    In our late teens, while my friends turned to smoking weed, I stood firm in my decision to abstain. Despite their respect for my choice, I couldn't ignore the toll weed was taking on their health and behavior. Concerned by their growing lethargy and detachment, I took a stand and voiced my worries.
